The barkentine st. Lucie, which came into
port on the 23d instant, was built at Bow,loin-
ham, Maine, in 1874. and is owned by MessrS.
j. W. Elwcll 4 Co., of New York. The vessel
is 152 feet over all, 33 feet 8 inches beam, and
10 feet inches depth of hold. Her average
speed is about ten knots per hour with good

hard pine, and is copper and iron fastened.
She has been running from New York to the
west coast of South America, returning to
Eastern ports with nitrate of soda. She has
made eleven voyages to South America and one
to Honolulu. This is the captains sixth voy-
age in the st. Lucie, and the first one anything
out of the usual line has happened to her.

says:
The decision reached by the Supreme Court

their cowardly deeds. If they can come here

opportunities which our institutions afford,
aud which are not afforded to an equal extent
IN any other nation on the globe But if they

Edward Eggleston will furnish a novel to the
coming volume of The Century. 1t is ten years
since ''Roxy" appeared in that magazine. Dur
ing this period the author of '' The Hoosicr
Schoolmaster" has written no fiction except
two or three short stories. But tempted by the
d
trial in which Abraham Lincoln was chief
actor, Mr.. Eggleston has now returned to his
old field and written new novel OF western
life entitled ''The Graysons, a Story of Illinois,"
The story is said to be marked by humorous
character-drawing, strong. and exciting situa-
tiOns, and a sympathetic understanding of the
country and people described. The novel
was written before any part of the life of Lin
coin, by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, had been
published, and the appearance at this time of
Mr.. Lincoln as an important auxiliary char
acter in work OF fiction is pure coincidence.

works on art, science. philosophy and political
